We were also very proud of Kariega's Head guide Jason Friend and Rudi van Niekerk for the following individual achievements:
- Jason Friend: Bronze medal for service to FGASA in the Eastern Cape
- Rudi van Niekerk: Best Advanced Rifle Handling (ARH) assessment
The AGM was held at Kariega Game Reserve and of course, as with any worthwhile AGM, there was time for fun and socializing as well as a trip on the Bushmans river.
Well done to all involved. Did you enjoy the experience with your guide at Kariega? Post your comments below or share them on our Facebook page, via Twitter and Instagram. You can also upload a video of your guide on YouTube and adding Kariega Game Reserve in the title.
